Los Angeles, California, June 26, 2025 — Phoenix Suns small forward Dillon Brooks has filed for a temporary restraining order (TRO) against his ex-girlfriend, Heather Andrews, alleging a pattern of harassment, vandalism, and threats, including a chilling message to “cut off his fingers,” according to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports.
A Bitter Split Turns Hostile
Brooks, 29, filed the TRO request in Los Angeles on June 25, 2025, detailing a tumultuous relationship with Andrews, the mother of his two daughters, aged 5 and 2. The Canadian NBA star, recently traded to the Suns from the Houston Rockets in a blockbuster deal involving Kevin Durant, claims he met Andrews in 2018 at a Las Vegas nightclub. Their relationship quickly led to the birth of their first child, but Brooks alleges Andrews began harassing him shortly after, sending “emotionally abusive” messages and leaking private conversations to gossip websites to tarnish his reputation.
In a particularly disturbing incident, Brooks alleges Andrews threatened his mother, writing, “I’ll send someone after your mom to [sic] bitch.” He also claims that in 2022, while he was with the Memphis Grizzlies, Andrews vandalized his Memphis home, scrawling “You Suck Bitch” and other insults on his outdoor fireplace mantle. Most recently, Brooks accuses Andrews of hacking his OurFamilyWizard co-parenting app account and sending herself a “criminal threat” message to frame him.
A Two-Sided Legal Battle
The filing comes less than a year after Andrews secured her own temporary restraining order against Brooks in 2024, alleging he had harassed and threatened her. That case, combined with their public custody battle over their daughters, Mila and Luna, has kept their feud in the spotlight. Despite the tension, Andrews posted a Father’s Day message in 2023, thanking Brooks for his role as a father, suggesting moments of attempted reconciliation. “Dillon, thank you for everything you do for the kids and I,” she wrote, per EssentiallySports.
Brooks, known for his fiery on-court persona and nicknamed “Dillon the Villain,” has maintained a low profile about his personal life, focusing publicly on his relationship with current girlfriend, model Mirna Habib. His Instagram, followed by over 200,000, is private, and he follows only Habib, signaling a desire for privacy amid the chaos.
Context of a High-Profile Career
Brooks, a defensive standout who earned NBA All-Defensive Second Team honors in 2023, has been a polarizing figure in the league. His recent trade to Phoenix alongside Jalen Green has positioned him as a key piece in the Suns’ lineup with Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. In the 2024-25 season, he averaged 14.0 points and 3.7 rebounds, shooting a career-high 39.7% from three-point range. Off the court, however, his personal struggles continue to draw attention, with this legal battle adding to his reputation as a lightning rod for controversy.
What This Means
A judge is set to hear arguments from both Brooks and Andrews in Los Angeles in late July 2025. The outcome could impact their co-parenting dynamic and Brooks’ focus as he navigates a pivotal season with the Suns. The case also highlights the challenges of high-profile relationships under public scrutiny, with potential implications for how athletes manage personal disputes in the digital age. As the legal proceedings unfold, Brooks’ supporters and critics alike will be watching closely, both on and off the court.
